My views: I was expecting a lot more from this book, but found it contained more about the author’s personal journey than about the information I had hoped it would have.
This post is written for the letter ‘Y’ for the Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2014.
I had almost decided to get hold of this book till i read your views at the end. Still I guess there will be something to be learnt!

Yes, I guess it had to do with my expectations as well, Archana.

I have found that quite a bit with self-help books. I think it’s too easy for the writer to make it more of a memoir!

They should say so, don’t you think, Stephanie? 🙂
Corinne Rodrigues recently posted..Weekend Wonder Detox
The title is very engaging. I expected more from the book too, Corinne! 🙂 But I guess packaging is often more attractive than the contents. 🙂

Yes, the title drew me in too, Vidya. Never judge a book by it’s title, I suppose! 😉
